Remember legendary punk band The Dreamboys?
Okay, this gets strange.
Apparently their frontman, Peter Capaldi, later appeared in a small British science fiction programme called Doctor Who, which has somehow developed a modest cult following.
It gets weirder. Their drummer, Craig Ferguson, had a talk show that was big in the USA where he interviewed celebrities. He was notable enough that Americans let him do this for 10 years.
I guess when you’re in a band as influential and culturally seismic as The Dreamboys, even your side projects attract interest.
